Check you network documentation. sometimes the error is 'communication link failure'.the errors are generated while using application based on VB and SQL on client machines.It is not that the error prompts only when huge query is fired from client. the error prompt even just application is open on the client machine and client is not doing anything.first of all please any one could help to understand the possible reasons for this error. i have searched on MS sites and also Google.
